Ingredients:

  • 4 tbsp Smoked Paprika
  • 3 tbsp Garlic Powder
  • 3 tbsp Onion Powder
  • 2 tbsp Coarse Kosher Salt
  • 2 tbsp Freshly Cracked Black Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Dried Thyme
  • 1 tsp Celery Seed
  • 1 tsp Ground Allspice

Instructions:

  1. Place your smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder in the bowl first.
  2. Add the coarse kosher salt and black pepper to the red powder.
  3. Take the dried thyme in your clean, dry palms and rub them together over the bowl. This friction releases the trapped essential oils in the dried leaves.
  4. Slowly stir in the cayenne pepper. Keep your face back so you don't inhale the dust.
  5. Add the celery seed and ground allspice last.
  6. Use a small whisk to stir the mixture until the color is a consistent, deep terracotta.
  7. Carefully funnel the mixture into your glass jar.
  8. Wipe the rim of the jar to ensure a tight seal.
